VGA Digital Camera

Saturday, 01 October 2011

The TXG02 from Baumer (Southington, CT) features VGA
resolution and a frame rate of up to 140 fps. Available in both
monochrome and color versions, the TXG02 has integrated
ExView HAD technology for the visible and near-infrared range
of the spectrum.

The 36 × 36 × 48 mm camera, based on the Sony ICX618
CCD sensor, has a range of functions, including “Timer,” storable
“User Sets,” and triggering via “Action Command.” While
the “Sequencer” can be used to record a series of frames with varying parameters, the configurable
“Trigger Delay” improves the fine-tuning of synchronization between the application and
the camera. Another function enables multi-camera operation and delayed image transmission.
